Planets Gather in Taurus

By the end of April, four of the five visible planets will be in the constellation of Taurus (the bull). Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Saturn can be seen in the western sky after sunset in Taurus. A little higher in the sky is Jupiter, in the constellation of Gemini (the Twins). All five visible planets can be seen in the western sky.
